Pros

A good job to get your feet wer and figure out how a bad company operates

Cons

Terrible compensaion system for sales and management--too many variables to get commission slashed and widdled away to nothing. you year after year have to do double the work to make the same amount of comission on existing accounts. 2% on existing 4% on new, and the existing goes up every year with your sales number for the specific month.
